“A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost She lowered her altitude
\nand spotted a man in a boat below.<\/p>\n
She shouted to him, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would
\nmeet him an hour ago, but I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know where I am.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied,<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation
\nof 2346 f eet above sea level.<\/p>\n
You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09
\nminutes west longitude.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes and said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You must be a Republican.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d replied the man. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How did you know?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d answered the balloonist, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153everything you told me is technically
\ncorrect , but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m still lost.<\/p>\n
Frankly, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve not been much help to me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The man smiled and responded, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You must be a Democrat.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d replied the balloonist. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How did you know?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Well,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said the man, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know where you are or where you are going.<\/p>\n
You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air.<\/p>\n
You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to
\nsolve your problem.<\/p>\n
You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, now
\nsomehow, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my fault.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
